Hi All, Have read info on creating a loop and after putting in the start and 
end time and turning on loop I go to record the loop and I do not hear the loop 
of what I've recorded til I stop my recorded loop hit space and go to listen by 
hitting space. Shouldn't i be able to listen to what I've recorded and add to 
it all at once rather than stopping to hear the original. I obviously recorded 
three or four times through the loop but don't hear it til I stop my recording 
and hit space to listen; if this makes since. 
    Also, am wondering if there is a way to create a loop without knowing 
exactly how long it is going to be ahead of time. Another words, if I wanted to 
do a drum loop and just started jamming, I may not know in advance that I want 
this loop to be 16 bars. Is there a way to jam on something in loop mode and 
have loop stop when I hit a key or something. Again, am sorry in advance if I 
am not explaining myself properly but hopefully you have the general idea. I 
have a looping pedal for guitar and can jam on something and use pedal to enter 
the loops start and stop on the fly rather than needing to enter it before 
loops begins. Any ideas are appreciated and excuse the real novice questions. 
Dave
